Two, you're trying to kind of comprehend what has just happened, win, lose or draw.

And then you've got somebody asking you questions.

And I think when I was coming through at times, you don't even know who's going to talk to you.

You don't know who's in the mix zone.

So you walk up and there's somebody.

And I think the difference now is that...

when they come through, there's a familiar face.

There's someone from their sport, someone that maybe they know a little bit about, they know who has competed at a certain level and can empathise.

And I think straight away, there's a bit of common ground, there's a bit of mutual respect and there's empathy.

And I think that's where I think people then kind of just feel relaxed and maybe we get a little bit more out of them in terms of an interview.

My my role there is a reporter to get that reaction.

Yeah.

You know, it's not to critique them.

It's not to analyze their performance.

Studio can do that.

Right.

But I think in those moments, it's like, how are you feeling?

Yeah.

You know, that's quite a nice job to have.

And I was given the choice.
